İbrahim Suat Evren

Ibrahim Suat Evren (also 'Suat Evren') is a Turkish mathematician and computer scientist, an IMO 2019 Gold medalist for Turkiye and 2019 Balkan Mathematical Olympiad Bronze medalist. He earned a Bachelor of Science at MIT in 2024 (Mathematics, Course 18, with an additional major in Computer Science, Economics and Data Science, Course VI-14) and was an active undergraduate researcher - UROP+/SuperUROP in mathematics and EECS, a PRIMO research fellow at Harvard Business School on vaccine-allocation market design, and a contributor to MIT OpenCourseWare and MIT Media Lab. From July 2024 to October 2025 he worked as a Quantitative Researcher at Radix Trading LLC, a proprietary algorithmic trading firm. He returned to MIT for graduate study in Computer Science (MEng 2025-2026, PhD from 2026), and taught olympiad mathematics at CyberMath Academy in 2026.

• Quant employment verification: CONFIRMED. Employment: Quantitative Researcher at Radix Trading LLC, Jul 2024 - Oct 2025 (LinkedIn work history). Employer classification: Radix Trading LLC (radixtrading.co) is a proprietary algorithmic trading / market-making firm - its own site describes it as 'a research firm powered by technology and monetized through trading' that trades major electronic markets from Chicago, New York and Amsterdam using machine-learning and statistical methods. Identity is supported: the LinkedIn profile is the same MIT / IMO 2019 Gold person recorded elsewhere (IMO contestant page; MIT SuperUROP scholar page), and OpenReview carries the same LinkedIn link under an MIT-email-verified account. No bank/asset-manager/energy/crypto trading internship found beyond this role; Halliday (2023) is a crypto/tokenization startup, not a quant trading firm.Sep 17, 2026
• Employment timeline: LinkedIn work history shows the Radix Quantitative Researcher role ended Oct 2025; OpenReview (MIT-email-verified account, joined Sep 2025) shows an MIT Computer Science MEng 2025-2026 and a CS PhD from 2026. The earlier LinkedIn-index snapshot listing Radix as current is therefore stale.Sep 2025
• IMO 2019: representing Turkiye, ranked 48th with 31 points and a Gold Medal (P1 7, P2 7, P3 3, P4 7, P5 7, P6 0); the contestant page notes the name could not be matched in the results database.Jul 2019
• Radix Trading is a proprietary research-and-trading firm that explicitly does not accept outside investment; its self-description (research first, monetized through trading, ML/statistical strategies, electronic markets in North America, Europe and Asia) frames the role as algorithmic trading rather than bank or asset-manager quant finance.Sep 17, 2026
• CyberMath Academy (Boston) lists him as an instructor at its Summer 2026 program, citing IMO 2019 Gold and a 2019 Balkan Mathematical Olympiad Bronze, and describes him as studying Mathematics at MIT.May 4, 2026
